Worksheet & Scorecard

• For efficient use of our reviewers’ time we’ve designed a worksheet and scorecard for a guided review of the Beta Website

• The worksheet gives a little background on XML and PDS4 and then asks the reviewer to work through a couple of exercises

• Reviewer responses are then recorded on the accompanying scorecard that allows ranking of many points along with user comment areas
